Basic Money Guide for Comic Artists and Other Freelancers
Do you know the difference between a traditional and a roth IRA? No? Ok, sit down and read this zine. Basic Money Guide for Comic Artists and Other Freelancers is a 12 page risograph zine designed for print in blue and red ink.
If you're a comics person, an artist, a writer, any kind of creative or any kind of self-employed person trying to make it work in the US and you don't know how to save money or pay your quarterly taxes... well, I can try to help!
Disclaimer: I'm not a money professional. This guide is extremely basic and serves as an introduction to some terms and concepts that will start you on the right path towards financial literacy. I'm just a dumbass who has been doing this for a couple years, sharing what I've learned.

So I often do freelance work for Viacom doing concept poses for style guides or merch and the like. I got permission to share some what I did from 2021-2023
I do a lot of stuff for Avatar/Korra!

Twitter has made the mind boggling decision to change DM settings without telling anyone, so you can only receive message requests from verified users. This could present difficulty in clients trying to reach you for work. You can check yours in settings -> privacy and safety -> Direct messages. It'll look like this:
Make sure you change it back to "allow message requests from everyone" so clients can reach you. HOWEVER- there seems to be a bug (or feature? who knows anymore) that will change it back after a few hours to allow message requests only from verified users. Make sure you check regularly to make sure your settings are the way you want.
Twitter has been a mess since the takeover, but this decision is going to severely impact the ability for clients to reach you. I think it's a good idea to make sure your external website is in your Twitter bio, and pin any other contact info to your profile.
To all the other people out there that use Twitter for work, good luck to us both 🙃
